The SBAI Recognises Australia’s Future Fund for its contribution to the industry at its Annual Oceania Institutional Investor Roundtable
At its 3rd Annual Oceania Institutional Investor Roundtable hosted in Sydney, Australia, which brought together leading investors and managers from North America, Europe and Asia, the Standards Board for Alternative Investments (SBAI) presented the Future Fund, one of the longest-serving members of its Investor Chapter, with a plaque in recognition of its vision and leadership in the asset management industry as well as its tremendous contribution to the SBAI.
Ben Samild, CIO of the Future Fund and SBAI Trustee, stated: “The Future Fund has been involved in the SBAI for many years, as we firmly believe in robust standards, better governance, and transparency for our industry. We are proud to be part of this process.”
The Future Fund joined the SBAI’s Investor Chapter in 2010 and was the first Australian institutional investor to do so. The Future Fund has played an important role in raising awareness about the SBAI and the Alternative Investment Standards in Australia. Today, the Australian institutional investors accounting for over A$850 bn in assets, form part of the SBAI’s community. The Future Fund is represented on the SBAI’s Board of Trustees as well as the APAC and Oceania Committees.
Jane Buchan, SBAI Chair stated: “We are thrilled to have this opportunity to recognise the Future Fund’s contribution to the SBAI’s mission and the industry. The role of sovereign wealth funds in promoting better practices in the alternative investment industry, particularly in Asia-Pacific is very important.”
The Future Fund is Australia’s sovereign wealth fund. The Future Fund invests for the benefit of future generations of Australians and at 31 December 2024 invests over A$304 bn on behalf of Australia’s Commonwealth Government. www.futurefund.gov.au.
